    Is the battery type the main difference between the ML3?

    Basically, yes. The lengthened battery compartment makes it impossible to get a ring around it since the compartment runs basically the entire length of the tube. This is what necessitates the funky mount shown in my pictures.

    I got a chance to talk to one of the guys from Colt for quite awhile. The vast majority of our conversation was about the piston guns. He seemed confident that the 1020 would be released to the civilian/LEO market "sometime". Evidently they made promisses at last year's show and now hav ea bit of egg on their face since the gun is not out.

    They should be releasing the 6940 first, which has the monolithic upper over a standard direct-gas system. They should have 100 of the uppers produced for this model in the next couple of months.

    The biggest hinderance would appear to be that they are frantically working to keep up with M4 production. The guy I talked to said they are producing 500 M4s a day for government use, and that doesn't leave much room in production for civilian and LE guns.

    That Masada is looking promising. It the trigger pack a drop in unit? I can't tell from the pic, are the parts metal?

    The Castle nut is backwards on that one AR a couple pics up, the one that has the "old" Aimpoint on it.

    They both should be available soon and I ordered both models.

    Not that I saw. Their booth was very small and was obviously dominated by the Masada. The only other products I saw there were the CTR, UBR and whatever they're calling their sniper stock.
